Silent Retreat - For Me, Really???

My sentiments exactly when my spiritual director suggested that I attend one. I asked him outright, “Are you kidding?” I thought he was either joking or making it my penance. But he assured me that it was not my penance (I am quite a social person so being silent for any amount of time besides sleep... (www.catholic365.com)

The archaeological evidence for that period shows that all the first Churches practiced the same rites the Catholic Church practices today. They had the baptismal fonts, the altar, the holy water, the incense, the candles, the vessels, the vestments. All the same as the Catholic Church today. Non... (www.catholic365.com)

A Catholic Love Story & The Role of Divine Mercy.

I love my wife......, no really, I love my wife, and I am on unapologetic about it. I thank God, not nearly enough, for the gift that she is. Her love is reflective of God's love, and I am so grateful for that. So what's the big deal anyway, shouldn't every husband show love for his wife?... (www.catholic365.com)

Is the Bible the Only Word of God?

First off, nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Bible is the sole, God-inspired source we have. This is a traditional construct of man which contradicts the Bible. The burden of proof lays with John on this. He must demonstrate that the Bible is the only source of the Word of God.... (www.catholic365.com)

We are attempting to answer the question: what is the Church? In attempting to answer this question we look first to the episode of creation from Genesis chapter 2. The text constructs reality as we know it by using relationships and we can appreciate that Scripture picks up on the biological perspe... (www.catholic365.com)

My little foster brother was cutting a paper at the kitchen table, then he said, "I make Jesus really super happy." I asked, "How?" He said, "Wait. I'll show you." Then he finished cutting his paper and gave it to me. He drew Jesus on the cross with a smile on His face. My little brother said J... (www.catholic365.com)

In the genius of the gospel plan, there ultimately only has to be one witness, but that witness must be you

Testimony is not given in words, the testimony which is most honest, is the testimony of actions/deeds. We have come to the start of a new year, one which is laden with challenge.... (www.catholic365.com)

Metamorphosis and the Post Vatican II Church

The Monarch butterfly is a magnificent creature. It lives to migrate as many other creatures do, following the milkweed bloom and spending the winters in Mexico. The migration is never really complete though, it is both continuous and mysterious. If we begin our observation with the Monarch leaving ... (www.catholic365.com)

Do You Long for a ‘Burning Bush' Moment?

Do you ever have times when it seems like God is so distant, you start to wonder if He even hears your prayers? Well, you’re not alone. Even the great saint Mother Teresa went through long spells where she could not sense the presence of God.... (www.catholic365.com)

Baptism His and Ours

Baptism. Most us were not aware of what was happening. Our parents made the decision for us when we were blissfully unaware. And in this twenty-first-century, more and more parents choose not to baptize their child. The stated reasons vary. But these are a sample of those I hear and read. 'We don't ...

Blessed William Carter

I like to read about dead people—obscure saints in particular. Odd macabre hobby but it’s not usually something that will get me admitted to a mental health facility, unless I start communing with the dead. I try to find a correlation between my obscure saint of the week and my harried life.... (www.catholic365.com)

They Went That Way, The Prodigal Way!

Going down to visit with the families this Christmas increased my concerns about their lifestyles. Technology ‘toys’ were becoming more and more items to be desired in the family lives, as they are all over the USA and elsewhere.
